RE: Balsa USA enforcer

I have read quite a bit about the enforcer but have not flown one- The only one I saw fly actually had a 4 stroke on it and it was about 70 mph... It landed at about 5 mph, and did very tight loops, fast rolls etc. the guy had it set-up for torque not speed-

The best result I think is from adding a Byron DF unit (Engine, fan, shroud, pipe etc.) they are appropriately called Byro-Enforcers and seem impressive-

Quickees like the Viper or Predator, prop-jets like the Patriot or DC F-20 are others I would recommend--

RE: Balsa USA enforcer

The Enforcer flies great. It IS different from flying conventional planes, however. Mine originally had a ST 61 that I changed to a ST 75. My guess would be at about 100-110 mph with the 75.
They are big, and a real pain in the keyster to transport, but look awesome on low flyby's!

A couple pics ( I have since given this to my Son-in-Law as a "Welcome home" gift for his safe return from Iraq)

RE: Balsa USA enforcer

If this is the type of plane your looking for, check out the "Force One" by the same Company (Balsa USA).

My brother bought the one below at an R/C swapmeet, and then gave it to me just recently (He paid $25 for it) We were going to split the cost of putting this in the air, however, neither one of us wanted to "finish" it.

I gave this to a buddy we fly with, and he has flown it the last 2 Sunday's. (he painted it) He's got an OS 46 FX with a tune pipe strapped on, and let me tell ya......this little thing HAULS ASS. HOLY MOLY, I think it's darn near as fast as my 60 F-20/Jett 90 combo!

Not sure how much these kits are, but they have to be SIMPLE to build. I'm sorry I gave this away now!!

I'm seriously considering building one for myself. (would probably be a lot lighter too, as the one in the pics was all fiberglassed and painted)

RE: Balsa USA enforcer

A guy in our club had an Enforcer years ago... powered it with an ST 90...

It was fast, but I wouldn't call it extreme... but faster than it would be with whatever .60 you throw at it obviously...
The only way to reach extreme speeds with the Enforcer is to get the thing up high and then do the longest power dive ever... don't forget to pull up
That guy in our club with the .90 on it loved to do this... but he also lost his plane to flutter while doing it... I guess he reached extreme speeds...

All in all it's a nice flying plane... the only thing I didn't like about the way it flew was that "wobble" it seemed to have when it was banked... the plane always seemed to be shaking its tail, and when banking that shows...

O, and they're LOUD... that prop running through the wing sounds like a siren...

I've actually had the 50 for well over a year now, and am just getting ready to stick it in a GP Super Sporster for the break-in. Somebody needs to put the whoopin' on Ol FlyBoy Dave's Aresti with the 61 FSR!! I think he's going to be for a little suprise....but don't tell him.

I have the Patriot too (ARF), just not thrilled or anxious to get it going. (I had forgotten about all the CHEAP plastic stuff they used on it)

RE: Balsa USA enforcer

If I can make some space I think I will get an enforcer. I am looking to increase my experience before I fly my turbine Kangaroo. The enforcer looks ideal as it is a similar configuration. Also sounds like you guys have fun with yours. That does it for me.
